It is so wonderful that everyone seems
to rally to a cause, any cause, at the drop of a hat. Watching the
media manipulate your minds entertains me. You see we have these laws
out there governing truth in advertising, while they can be worked
around, it is scarier to me that we do not have similar laws
regulating campaigns or politics. So people continue to run on half
truths and misinformation. They spin issues, or stories to make a
point and bring attention to an issue they feel is important to them,
or important enough to distract the masses from what ever other issue
they want.
A very recent example is this whole
hoodie versus handguns shit. I wear a hoodie, and I carry a handgun.
This does not make me a criminal. I truly believe the second
amendment is my conceal carry permit, and that trying to use the
death of this boy to take that away is retarded. Then you put the
spin that people are trying to put on about the damn hoodie. Fuck the
hoodie. Look at the whole picture and are you going to let them
generate rage around an article of clothing and attempt to take away
one more constitutional right? I don't give a shit if this kid was
wearing a prom dress and had fairy wings.
You see there are several aspects of
this case that people do not talk about, and the sheeple gobble up
the bullshit they are spoon fed. What are the situations leading up
to the shooting? Did the gun owner feel threatened? This kid was no
saint. At least not the saint they are trying to make him out to be
with his skittles and can of iced tea. He had a record, and did he
have previous interactions with the gun owner?
Now lets look at the gun owner, if he
did not kill this kid in self defense, then yes he should be
punished. Just because you can carry a concealed weapon, does not
mean you get to use it at will. You can drive a car, but there will
be an investigation if you crash it, especially if someone dies
right? Your part in freedom is to be responsible, so you need to be
held accountable for practicing your freedom. A person needs to be
held accountable for abusing the freedoms of others. This does not
mean because some trigger happy ass hat shoots a kid, that everyone
needs to lose their rights to carry a handgun. Why not close down all
the fast food joints across the country because we are the only
country with fat ass poor.
The issue is not the hoodie, or the gun
control measures. It is about personal freedom, and personal
responsibility. Yet we all get caught up in this, and jump to one
side or the other and prepare to defend it with our life. Sad part is
most people forget the issues, and spin it to their cause. As a
personal note I find it hard to get behind any cause the Al Sharpton
jumps in front of. Not because of race, but because that guy is a
master manipulator and a social dumb ass. Press is press to a vulture
like that. It gets his name out, and through that he can make money
or raise money to get his fancy suits that are stored in his walk in
closest.
It really boils down to a real simple
issue. Control. Which side of the issue are you on? Are you in
control of yourself, or are you so desperate for external approval
that you can be controlled? Are you swayed easily from issue to
issue? Can you see other sides of the issue, or are you blind to only
your point of view? Even worse, are you blind to any other point of
view not given to you in a multi media marketing package that appeals
to the baser emotions that you have no understanding of, and lack the
ability to control them.
The fucking issue here is not what
clothing makes you a criminal, or taking the guns away from everyone.
The issue here is what is right, just, and free. Punish the wicked,
but freedom means freedom. It is a concept so few understand. You see
we are all truly free to do what ever we want as long as we are
wiling to face the consequences, but the legal freedom we enjoy as a
people is precious. Those that give it away to be safe, find that
safe is a perspective. More important you are free to actually
educate yourself on this issues and look at the whole fucking thing.
You are also free to personally give a crap or not give a crap. Not
everything on the TV is worth a picket sign.
